WHY THEY ARE IN JAIL.
Points in the Case that Resulted in Mayor
and City Council Being Sent to Prison.

LINCOLN Neb., Nov. 2a--Mayor Sawyer and
ten of the twelve members of the City Council of
this city now incarcerated in the Douglass
county Jail at Omaha by order of Judge Brewer,
of the United States Court, they having refused
to pay fines imposed by the court1for contempt
aggregating $500. The history of the case.
which led up TO this condition of affairs is about
as follows: Some time in July last. charges
were preferred against Police Judge Parsons by
a number of citizens, alleging malfeasance III
Office and misappropriation of funds paid into
his hands as fines for violation of the city ordi-
nances. The Council decided to investigate the
affairs of the police judge, but had not pro-
ceeded far when they found that before doing so
they would have to adopt set of rules to
govern the examination, as the city was work
ing under new charter. This was done and
the investigation proceeded and resulted in
determination on the part of the Council to GUST
the police judge After the Council had decided
upon this action, but before the final vote de-
claring the Office vacant had been taken. the
police judge applied to Judge Brewer, of the
federal court, for an injunction, alleging that
he was being tried for an alleged offense by an
ex post facto law. A temporary injunction was
served on the Council, but the body believing
that the case had been wantonly misrepresented
to the federal court for the purpose of gaining
time, decided to disregard the injunction. and
thereupon took final action, removed Police
JuoSe PARSONS ana confirmed the mayors ap-
pointment of q successor to the office. The
Council was then cited to appear before Judge
Brewer. to answer TO the charge of contempt.
AT this hearing, the court held that although it
might not have jurisdiction in the origin
ally brought, yet it was contempt for the Coun-
Gil to disregard the temporary injunction. and
fined them accordingly in sums ranging from
$50 to $50 each. The Council decided to test the
case in the highest court in the land, and in
cordance they refused to pay the fines and went
to Jail. A legal representative has already left
for Washington to institute habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in the United States Supreme Court.

SENATOR JONES.
The Proposition Looking to Lunacy Proceed
ings Results in Creating Two Factions.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 29-No steps looking
toward a judicial investigation to the
condition of Senator Jones have yet been taken.
The friends of Mr.. Jones who are opposed to
investigation say that it will not take place,
while those who have been urging such course
persist that it is the wisest thing to be done
under the circumstances. This difference of
opinion has resulted in the creation of two fac
tions, one advising heroic measures to induce
the Senator to leave Detroit or engage in the
practice of his profession. the other against such
a step, as absurd and unjustifable. They held
it ridiculous to think of having a man UP as in
sane who has troubled no one and simply chooses
to stay in Detroit A good deal of feeling has
been aroused between these adverse parties.
Both have advanced money to Mr. Jones Toa
reporter Mr.. Jones said '.It is strange that a
who has seen much of the world as /
have should be compelled to receive advice from
Who should know better than what is best TO
be DONE understand better the reasons for
doing itl twill eventually be shown that am
acting for the best"
To another the Senator said that his purpose
for remaining in Detroit would be attained with
in a year, and that he would return to Florida
before the expiration of that time. z. Hickey,
said to be an influential friend of the family,
from Pensacola, Fla, arrived last night, and an
other effort will be made to get the Senator
away from Detroit If it fails, then legal pro-
who were with the Senator Saturday have
informed John B. Jones, the son, that they are
ready to sign a certificate of insanity to the Pro-
bate Court.

Cities Bid for the Big Prize.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Whoever secures the
next national convention will not have a walk
away. Chicago, Omaha. Minneapolis and Phil
adelphia are all in the field and will be here be-
fore the end of the week with strong delegations
to bid for the great gathering Of Republicans.
Chicago has left stone unturned to influence
favorable action on her behalf. For months
past she has piled every accessible member of
the national committee with facts and figures OF
her growth, hotel capacity. amusement facilities
and railroad connections. Her success in caring
for the last convention is urged on all sides IN
her favor, and carries great WEIGHT.
The great crowds Of friends OF
various candidates who attend such gatherings,
and who look to the amusemens facilities of
city as much to its hotel capacity, all in
favor Of Chicago. This. quito aside from politi-
cal considerations, is element of strength in
Chicago's favor which cannot be overlooked.
Many of the most prominent politicians are pro-
nounced in favor of Chicago and the enthusiasm
Of their followers has not been decreased by the
report that Chicago will furnish free trausporta-
tion for all delegates.
Philadelphia will make hard fight for the To-
cation. A large and strong delegation OF lead
ing citizens will present her claims in person,
backed by handsome guarantee Of expenses.
They will be ably supported by q committee Of
hotel and boardine-house keepers. who will give
liberal assurances of cheap rooms and lodgings.
Minneapolis, not to be behind hand will come
through to the national capital with train OF
FIVE cars. specially chartered to carry repre-
sentative assembly of her citizenship speaking
behalf of the twin cities. Minneapolis and ST.

both communities and $50 600 in cash as q bonus

AMERICANS IN CHINA.

Heavy Capitalists Hope to Obtain Charters
to Construct Railways and Water-Works
CHICAGO, Nov 29.-Chester Holcomb, of Pc
kin. China, formerly of the American legation.
is in the city. A morning paper publishes an
interview with Mr.. Holcomb, in which he as
serts that he is in league with heavy American
capitalists in Chinese investments and that ne
will obtain a charter, on his return to China, for
the construction of double-track railway to
run from some convenient point IN Pekin to the
iron and coal mountains that lie little less
than fifteen miles distant. He will also receive
imperial letters patent authorizing the Hol-
comb American syndicate to open up coal ana
iron mines in said mountains and to supply the
Chinese generally with coal and iron; to con-
struct water-works in Pekin and to sup
ply 100000 Pekinites with water; to con-
struct sewers, viaducts, bridges, etc. He says
the pressing question with China just now
is the best method of developing her railroad
and mining systems The Chinese governments
realized the necessity for the development Of in
ternal communication. but the delay was caused
bv her inability to discover the best way TO take
hold Of the business There was nothing IN tho
concessions said to have been granted to Count
Mitkiewicz. He had q memorandum drawn up
by an uEderling in some of the government Of
fees, but this did not bind ANYBODY. The two
Cinnamon that returned with the so-called Count
to the United States were not officials and were
brought over to carry ont the Counts deceptions.
When the Chinese government decided to build
railroads and open up her mines, foreign enter
prise would have to be secured She had no skilled
labor but had iron and metals, but no facilities
for working them China was cautious and con-
servative. and while men Of wealth and respon-
sibility would be given every facility, adventur
ers would find anything but a welcome.
Respecting Chinese immigration, Mr.. Hol-
comb said that China WAS willing that America
should be careful about the class of immigration
from her shores, but she still thought she was
Disseminated against uni Justly. In California
the people thought that there should be more
rigid restriction law than the present one. To q
man who has never been in China. al Cinnamon
look alike, and so it was that Chinaman who
had been in America would on his return home
sell his certificate of American residence, and
othara would use it.

not believe Mr.. Blaine entertains the slightest
desire intention to be nominated for the
presidency next year. Mr.. Jones said he did
not wish TO be considered as making definite
or authoritative statement. but he based his
conclusions upon what Mr.. Blaine had voun-
tarily said him when he was his guest, a
year ago, the time he came to
Ptrsburg in the Beaver campaign. Mr..
Blaine had stated substantially the same views
tine day he sailed for Europe in conversation
with Mr.. Jones. at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. The
personal relations of Mr.. Jones with Mr.. Blaine
give importance to this statement.
